Can we quickly appreciate that Tom used color coding in the subtitles to distinguish the speakers? Love it!

I'mma fix that one for you: Tom paid professionals to color code the captions. He does this for all of his videos with multiple speakers.

I went clubbing one night, and woke the next day to find myself in posession of a unwrapped lollipop that I didn't recall gaining, so I was worried I had drunkenly robbed it from someone or somewhere. Now it becomes clear that either the club or a police support officer in the street outside the club probably gave it to me to shut me up, only for me to pocket it instead of consuming it right away.

The thing about the 'could have nicked your laptop' stickers reminds me of something the police actually did. They had officers who were putting cards in open bags saying "a pickpocket could steal your stuff"

@peperoni_pepino Год назад

I was thinking of smoking. I vaguely recall that maybe my local police did that once, but I'm not a smoker so not sure. I think there was some space where smoking was forbidden while it used to be allowed, and the first few months the police would force people to stop smoking or leave, but if they stopped they got a lollipop. But I might be making this up in a mixture of some other action and the fact that there was a large campaign to switch from smoking to lollipops. That campaign was before vapes came around.

@TasieDJ 11 месяцев назад

This was my immediate thought. The night club I used to go to did this. Not sure how many people realised the reason but I literally used to call them shush pops! This was definitely before 2011.

@JoeBleasdaleReal Год назад

When I started clubbing in South London in my late teens I genuinely thought those lollies had acid in them or something. I had no idea they were from the police 😂😂😂😂

it wasnt the police handing them out, but in the nightclubs i went to in the 90s when you would pay your bill while leaving, there was always free lollipops at the door you could take, and most did take them

I thought it was some unorthodox investigation technique where they'd give out lollipops and try to obtain DNA from the saliva on discarded sticks in order find a match on an ongoing investigation.

@lforlight Год назад

I listened to the full episode. It was oddly easy, compared to the others. I would have sat out for half the questions. And given how Tom, Marques and Wren all had the chance to sit out questions, it feels like I did as well. 3 weekend days starting with T was really a non-brainer. At the level of a grade school riddle.

@ecchikitty1395 Год назад

My guess had been to lure kids towards police officers. In the best of ways. Kids get told 'be good or the police will get you!' and so are scared of the police. That's not a good situation when a kid is lost and alone, you want them to be willing to approach a police officer. Well if the police are the guys handy out candy, no hesitation going to one when you've got a problem.

When did Continental Europe adopt the metric system and why didn’t England also adopt the Metric System at that time?

@korakys Год назад

Napoleon spread the metric system around with his conquests, but of course he never conquered Britain. A lot of countries rejected the metric system as soon as Napoleon was defeated but by then they already had a taste for it and soon readopted it. Napoleon didn't take control of every country on the continent but it was enough for a critical mass to get the others to switch. Britain was also already far more standardised at the time while other countries still had very wonky systems that absolutely had to be tightened up, may as well just switch to metric instead as it was a ready-made system. He also spread the modernised French legal code style at the same time, much of the continent uses it as a base to this day.

@SteinGauslaaStrindhaug 5 месяцев назад

4:00 Surely it must be to make drunk people yelling in the streets late at night shut up?

@sophiamarchildon3998 Год назад

Initial thoughts: either had drug detection in them (that licker got a blue tongue from a red lollipop, thus drugged), or a "free ticket to superbowl" scam thing (could be simple as people parking illegally just to get that free-ness, and be scolded about). But in a more current way, they could have to give up some freedom/privacy, just for a treat.

@sophiamarchildon3998 Год назад

Hayley's guess at 1:45 is so good.

@sophiamarchildon3998 Год назад

After the "to shut-up" revelation of 2:35: it was a protest against the police. And they wanted to calm down (silence?) the protesters. So they paid dealers to freely hand lollipops out. And they got a moment of quiet for a public/recorded presence.

@sophiamarchildon3998 Год назад

Results: my first guess was too optimistic on the cunning ability of the police. My second one, I was too stuck on police "police" aspect of it, but still very on track for the reason. And then a miss.

In 2012 when texting and driving became illegal in my area, there were stories of cops rewarding drivers who pulled over on the highway with free pizza. I honestly thought that's where the lollipop thing was going.

@cannot-handle-handles 5 месяцев назад

Spoilers: … And here I thought they were giving out signs like the ones used by crossing guards (because they are lollipop ladies/men/people in the UK). … Well, the real solution was better and they should start doing this here.
